Plain or Fancy? Antiques in Indiana

Well, since I was in Indiana for nearly all of July - I have a few more pictures to share.  My parents have been in the antique business for a long time - over 25 years?  Something like that.  They have a shop at the "Summitt Hill Farm" homestead - called "Plain and Fancy Antiques" - and attend several shows around the Northern Indiana region.  Here is a link for more information on Plain and Fancy as well as several other antique shops in the area.  And another....
Wanna come inside?........
I'm digging this lamp....shame it wouldn't fit in my trunk ;(
I've always liked this peach picture.  Seems like it would fit right into my house in Texas, huh?
A "toaster" - in case you didn't know
I love old photos, I wonder why no one ever smiled?  Must have been the corn cobs in the outhouse......;(
Unfortunately, I don't get to bring home what ever I want from the shop.  Living 18 hours away has it's disadvantages.  It's fun going through stuff though and learning where each piece came from and lots of time - just what the heck it was used for.

I love the pics of your parent's house! I can see how you'd miss it...a new house in the burbs just can't compare.
